Shannon Sampling

Shannon Sampling is a special case of the general problem of reconstruction of a function from its values at a discrete set of points. The talk will deal with age-old algorithms for solving this problem and new estimates for their error and efficiency.

Stephen Smale is one of the leading mathematicians of our time. He was awarded a Fields Medal at the International Congress at Moscow in 1966. In 1996, Smale received the National Medal of Science for four decades of pioneering work on basic research questions, which have led to major advances in pure and applied mathematics. A biography of Steve Smale, "The Mathematician Who Broke the Dimension Barrier," was written by S. Batterson and published by the Mathematical Association of America in 2000.
